John I had owned a CD Typhoon, actually the same one twice. But for the motor mount contact: Spartan Marine
Robinhood ME 04530
(207) 371-2542
(800) 325-3287
they have what you need. ONe other thing, you'll find that the motor will drag in the water when on starboard tacks. I would stow the motor below until I needed it, and hope that i didn't need it. GGood luck.

smooth sailing,
Paul

John,

Try Handy Boat in Falmouth, ME. They make a fine cast bronze motor mount for considerably less than the folks at Spartan. One caution, do not overload either of the mounts as they will deflect under load.
